Sow from March to September for a continuous supply. Use them in salads, stir-fries, omelettes, and as a garnish on anything that needs a fresh onion flavour without the sharpness of a full onion.

🌱 Sowing information
Sow February under cover and March-July outdoors in firm, fine soil or deep containers. Draw 1 cm drills spaced 15-20 cm apart and sow thinly. Keep moist during germination. For bunching stems, sow closer so plants grow as a natural “mazzo” (bunch).
☀️ Light exposure
Prefers full sun but tolerates light partial shade. In Ireland, a sunny open bed, tunnel or bright patio spot gives upright growth and clean white stems.
💧 Water needs
Keep soil evenly moist, especially in free draining beds or containers. Regular watering prevents toughness or splitting. Avoid waterlogging to reduce rot risk.
🌡️ Germination temperature & time
Germinates at 10-20 °C, usually in 7-21 days. Early sowings benefit from cloches or greenhouse warmth; later sowings can be made directly outdoors.
📏 Plant spacing & final size
Thin to 2-3 cm for slender single stems, or leave closer for bunching onions. Rows 15-20 cm apart are sufficient. Mature plants reach 20-30 cm tall with long white shafts.
🌼 Harvesting notes
Harvest May-November, pulling single stems or lifting whole bunches at pencil thickness. For extended cropping, snip a few leaves from each clump before lifting full bunches later.
